The transport support 101 and the heat exchanger are both arranged in the vertical direction, and the circulation working part 10 can move on the transport support 101, and its activity process is that the ascending section 100 is lifted upward, while the descending section 200 is vertically downward. Its entire working process is to move in a vertical plane, and the ascending section 100 and the descending section 200 are both fixed with a tray support 110. Specifically, when it is working, a tray containing materials is placed on the ascending section 100 on one side of the ascending section 100. 0 on the tray support 110, and then as the ascending section 100 moves upward, the heat exchanger cools and freezes the material on the tray. Since it is a circulating working component 10, the tray will reach one side of the descending section 200 after reaching the top, and move vertically downward with the descending section 200, and the material is still in the freezing process of the heat exchanger during the descent process. First of all, the entire circulating freezing process is in the vertical direction, and it adopts the circulating working component 10, which can not only reduce the footprint of the equipment, but also because of the circulation work in the vertical direction, it can not only ensure the freezing effect, but also facilitate the loading and unloading process of the material.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the heat exchanger 60 may be an evaporating coil.

[0036] In a further embodiment of this embodiment, the circulating working part 10 is a chain, and the vertical transport refrigeration equipment also includes a first sprocket 102 and a second sprocket 103. The chain is tensioned on the first sprocket 102 and the second sprocket 103. The first sprocket 102 is located above the second sprocket 103 so that the chain is arranged in a vertical direction, and multiple tray supports 110 are evenly installed on the chain.

[0037] In this embodiment, a chain is used as the circulating working component 10. By arranging the chain in the vertical direction, the chain is driven by the sprocket to perform circulating work. It not only has a simple structure but also works more stably.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first chain 106 and the second chain 107 are arranged parallel to each other, which can facilitate the installation and arrangement of the tray bracket 110 .

[0040] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the vertical transport freezing equipment further includes a pushing mechanism 80 , which is used to push the tray located in the ascending section 100 to the descending section 200 .

[0041] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the pushing mechanism 80 is disposed near the top of the delivery bracket 101 .

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the pallet support 110 is vertically fixed on the chain, the angle of the pallet support 110 will change when it passes the top. Therefore, in this embodiment, the pallet is pushed to the other side by the pushing mechanism 80 before the angle of the pallet support 110 changes, so that the pallet can be transported at the top.

[0043] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the tray support 110 is composed of two square tubes, one of which is fixed on the inner side of the first chain 106 and the other is fixed on the inner side of the second chain 107 , and the positions of the two square tubes correspond to each other.

When working, at least one pallet support 110 is aligned with the loading conveyor belt. When the pallet enters between the first chain 106 and the second chain 107, the two square tubes drag the two side edges of the pallet, and the pallet moves upward one grid with the chain. When unloading, the first chain 106 and the second chain 107 are lowered to place the pallet directly on the unloading conveyor belt so that the two square tubes are no longer under force, and the pallet can be transported to the outside by the drive of the unloading conveyor belt.

[0050] The square tube structure in this embodiment is not only simple in structure, but also more convenient for loading and unloading the tray 70 .

[0051] The arrangement of the tray support 110 in this embodiment can not only realize the freezing of materials, but also, because the tray support 110 is arranged in the vertical direction, it also has the function of transitioning and storing turnover materials.

Specifically, the pallet transition bracket 108 in this embodiment is a bent plate structure with bent sides. The pallet transition bracket 108 not only supports the bottom of the pallet 70, but also has a guiding role during the pushing process.

[0054] In addition, the pallet transition bracket 108 in this embodiment includes a pushing cylinder 801, and a fixed bracket 804 is provided on the side of the conveying bracket 101. The cylinder body of the pushing cylinder 801 is installed on the fixed bracket 804. The piston rod of the pushing cylinder 801 extends into the space between the first chain 106 and the second chain 107. A transverse pushing rod 805 is fixed to the front end of the piston rod, and a guide rod 803 is movably provided on the fixed bracket 804. The front end of the guide rod 803 is fixed on the transverse pushing rod 805, and the fixed bracket 804 is fixed with a cylinder 802, and the pushing cylinder 801 is located inside the cylinder 802.

[0055] The vertical transport refrigeration equipment in this embodiment also includes a plurality of fan groups 20, and the plurality of fan groups 20 are arranged in the vertical direction. Specifically, the plurality of fan groups 20 in this embodiment are installed on a fan bracket 30, and the fan group 20 includes a motor 201 and a fan blade 203. The motor 201 and the fan blade 203 are connected by a connecting shaft 202. In addition, the fan bracket 30 in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of cross bars 301 in a stacked manner, and each cross bar 301 is installed with a fan group 20, the motor 201 is fixed on the cross bar 301, and the connecting shaft 202 is rotatably installed on the bearing seat 204, and the fan blade 203 in this embodiment is facing the chain.

[0056] In addition, the second sprocket shaft 111 in this embodiment is connected to the driving motor 104, and the driving motor 104 drives the second sprocket shaft 111 to rotate and then drives the first chain 106 and the second chain 107 to operate synchronously.

[0057] The tray bracket 110 in this embodiment adopts a two-square tube structure, which can also facilitate the pushing work of the pushing mechanism 80. Specifically, when the tray 70 reaches the uppermost end of the ascending section 100, the tray bracket 110 at the uppermost end of the ascending section 100 is aligned with the tray bracket 110 at the uppermost end of the descending section 200, so that the tray can be pushed from the tray bracket 110 at the uppermost end of the ascending section 100 to the tray bracket 110 at the uppermost end of the descending section 200, and the tray bracket 110 between the uppermost end of the ascending section 100 and the uppermost end of the descending section 200 is in an inclined state, so the tray bracket 110 between the uppermost end of the ascending section 100 and the uppermost end of the descending section 200 does not place the tray 70.
